вЂњAs we all know, symbology isnвЂ™t a real field-religious iconography is, cryptology is, but symbology is not.

вЂњWhat really excited me in terms of research was digging into the field of noetic sciences,вЂќ Curry says.

While the pandemic kept Curry from visiting the California-based Institute of Noetic Sciences to shadow a real-life scientist whose career might be like KatherineвЂ™s, she wasnвЂ™t without scientific North Stars. On The Lost Symbol, CurryвЂ™s character works in the noetic sciences-which focus in part on ways the brain might influence the physical world. вЂњThere are details of things we havenвЂ™t been able to explore in the show,вЂќ she says, вЂњwhich fed me.вЂќ Laboratory Science Still, immersing herself in BrownвЂ™s world provided invaluable background for who her Katherine was to become. Katherine from the book is not Katherine from the series sheвЂ™s 15 years younger, and as for her relationship with Peter Solomon, sheвЂ™s his daughter, not his sister.вЂќ Still, she notes, вЂњThe series is a bit removed from the book, as weвЂ™re setting it up as a prequel to the Dan Brown stories audiences have seen before.

She had seen The Da Vinci Code film but hadnвЂ™t read BrownвЂ™s novels, so she dove into The Lost Symbol in print and binged all of the movie adaptations of the books. вЂњThat was something that wasnвЂ™t new to me, though the fanbase around the Robert Langdon universe was.вЂќ

вЂњSo many of the characters IвЂ™ve played in my career have been based on previously existing properties,вЂќ she says, noting roles in American Pastoral, Blair Witch, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. For a world as complicated and beloved as the one Brown has created, it was important for Curry to learn everything she could.
